“Come Unto Me”


Read: Matthew 11:28-30

Hello Friend!
Have you ever found yourself at a point when it’s hard to pray or believe? Have you ever gotten so distracted with your worries that you forgot that God still answers prayers? May we never forget how powerful our God is and May our faith in Him never wax cold. I hope this piece inspires you:

He paced around the wide corridor 
Worry and fear engulfed his mind
He watched people come in and go out
But all he could think was “how?”

How will it happen? 
How can she survive?
How can we scale through this?
How will things be normal again?

He stood for a while
Looked up at the ceiling
All white and blank
No answers


He sat back on the chair 

Looked at the floor 

Just cement and sand

No answers 


Nothing seemed to bring hope 
The doctors all looked sad and gloomy 
What was going to be the end of this?
Would she survive?

I can’t lose her
She’s all I’ve got 
I’ve tried everything 
I’ve done everything I can


“But have you prayed?”

“Don’t you believe in me anymore?”

He heard this calm voice in his ears

And felt a cold hand on his shoulders 


Turned around but saw no one
He cried out, “God is that You?”
But He did not hear anything again
“God please forgive my ignorance!”

“Forgive me for not trusting enough”

“I believe in You, God!”

Then He heard the calm voice again,
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

“I put my worries in Your care, Lord”
“Please help me, I can’t help her”
He felt the burden leave his shoulders 
He pictured his wife’s face smiling 
He saw the doctors congratulating him

"The surgery was successful”

He began to cry in joy 

He lifted up his voice and cried out

“God, You still do miracles!”


Prayer 
Dear God, thank you for the assurance that You are more than able to help me. May I always trust in You and keep growing in faith.

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sometimes life feels like it’s falling apart — plans fail, losses come unexpectedly, and hope seems distant. Think of a time when things weren’t going the way you wanted; with all the emotions rushing through your mind, gratitude was probably the last thing you wanted to express. Yet, this is exactly where true thanksgiving begins — not when life is perfect, but when we trust that God is still good, even when things don’t seem that way. God’s Word encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances because He cares deeply for us, and His thoughts toward us are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when things seem unclear, His plans are still for our peace and not for our destruction. Sometimes, we need to pause and look back at our lives to see the countless blessings we’ve overlooked. The psalmist reminds us to remember the deeds of the Lord and meditate on His works (Psalm 77:11–12). As we walk through tough seasons, it’s important to shift our focus away from negativity and toward the...

When obedience seems hard

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most. Sometimes, God asks us to let go of something dear — a dream, a relationship, or even a habit — and our first instinct is to resist. We grumble, argue, or try to reason it out because obedience can feel costly. But obedience, even when hard, is proof of our trust in God. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...

Truly humble?

“True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life.” Proverbs 22 : 4 NLT As a Christian, have you ever been convicted in your heart that you were acting out of pride? Sometimes pride creeps in unnoticed—especially when we get carried away with church activities or even personal achievements. Before we realize it, we may start thinking we are the center of attraction instead of giving God the glory. Pride is subtle but dangerous, and if we are not careful, our service to God can become more about ourselves than Him. May we never be deprived of God’s blessings because of pride. True humility begins with total reverence for God—acknowledging Him for who He is and recognizing that everything we have comes from Him. Scripture reminds us in James 4:6 that, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humility is not weakness; it is strength under God’s control. It is the heart that bows before God, knowing He alone is our source. The fear of the Lord goe...
